It Is Time To Mosh! Divided Minds Brings Their Latest EP: 'Mood Swings'

Divided Minds are back, and they are ready to take on the world with their latest release, Mood Swings. After signing with We Are Triumphant, the band released a six track EP that deals with passionate relationships, trust, and life, that ends up revealing a whole new side to this Phoenix, Arizona band.

The EP kicks off with “Norterra Parkway”, a track that is filled with incredible imagery as the lyrics beautifully describe the passion between the couple. With lyrics such as “blue skies, long dress, and a nice laugh” and “long talks on walks, let the time pass”, it is almost inevitable that the audience would smile and sing along with this song, thinking back on the one that they love the most.

We all have that one song we hold so dear and close to our hearts. You know which song that’s being talked about. The one that surges through your veins, pumping adrenaline you didn’t even know you had? “Don’t Get Too Close” is a track that bring any listener this monumental feeling. The song starts with a riff that immediately catches the ear as it starts then stops abruptly in-between lyrics and casually streams into an amazing structure with the drums and the bass to follow. It is a song that will have any audience itching to hear it live so that they may jump, dance, and mosh their hearts out to it.

As banger after banger follows throughout this release, Divided Minds isn’t afraid to still show a soft side. “Elizabeth” is an acoustic song that is… Well, certainly emotional. The lyrics ring out with appreciation and admiration. Let’s just say: mothers are the best kind of support that all of us need.

Thankfully, the band doesn’t leave us wiping tears from our eyes as the final track “Life’s Overrated” finishes out Mood Swings. The sixth song is a head-banger. With an intense guitar riff and vocals that are sung out with angst, a sense of urgency to grab a couple of pens and air-drum along is felt.

Overall, Mood Swings is a rush. A rush of pure joy that leaves you wanting to hit replay over, and over, and over again.

The land of Michigan has given the world a deluge of multiple necessities and sheer pleasures outside of what at one time was the auto industry mecca. Like its heart and soul of the blue collared working person that breeds an indelible, almost pioneer spirit, the music from here reflects its surroundings as once again this 26th state, added to the Union in January of 1837, is having a rebirth. The possibility of this land known warmly for its industrial explosion in the region of the Great Lakes is now standing at possibly a new dawn... the creation of being a strong contender for the music scene, much like Nashville is today.

With this in mind, the resonating rock and blues plus more yet to be revealed have begun with the band, Greta Van Fleet. They are poised and ready to bring the elements of rock n' roll up to the next level.

Recently bassist Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet took some time out while they are on tour to give their …

Stryper
Brings Metal Stings with Their 30th Anniversary Album Celebration Tour: To
Hell With the Devil with
Song River

It
was a 'sweet' celebration Stryper brought with them everything a
30th-anniversary celebration should bring and then some! The strength
and heart as the yellow and black brought the hard rock attack back
to Arizona, as the Nile Theatre was packed with die hard fans that
came from some sort of faith background so it seemed and included a
wide age group range.

Stryper
really was the premiere heavy metal Christian rock band that came
onto the scene back in the 80's and pioneered the way and without a
doubt still brings the best of it all today. Still working with the
original lineup of vocalist Michael Sweet, drummer Robert Sweet,
bassist Timothy Gaines and guitarist Oz Fox hitting the
30th-anniversary release, 1986's album, To Hell With the Devil.
The album spoke to so many when it was released and today those fans

Adam Ant at the Celebrity Theatre by H. Reavis How does one categorize a man who is one part rock star, several parts romantic highwayman, a dash of the peculiar gentleman, and a whole lot of British? One doesn’t. He must be christened and his name yelled in revered abandon: it’s Adam Ant. With a career spanning more than thirty years, the charismatic Adam has enjoyed chart success, awards (particularly the Q Music Icon Award in 2008), movie roles including Drop Dead Rock with Debbie Harry, and sold out concert performances worldwide. His music videos revolutionized the visual aid for musicians with storytelling in lieu of the standard promo. Drawing from his experience in art school his videos chronicled the adventures of his romantic pirate alter ego in “Stand and Deliver” and “Prince Charming.”

Currently in the throes of another tour called Anthems, which is a follow-up to his successful Kings of the Wild Frontier Tour, Adam, and the band are bringing his extensive singles catalog to b…

Whether it is the challenge of growing up too fast, playing in a band that he loves, flying solo, working on music projects, the loss of a loved one, or just kicking back at home musician/singer-songwriter Michael Sweet greets each day as if it were to be his first and his last. With an eagerness to say yes and come what may. His faith in God has carried him to say, "I am not a man of many regrets." Song River: Being
on tour for a band must be an almighty passion. What is it though
that most bands do when they have a 'day off' while they are out
touring? Michael Sweet: To
be honest, aside from interviews and social media, it is a day we
finally get to do our laundry! [laughed] I am so OCD about doing
laundry. You got to be the first one up if you want to get it done. Song River: Laundry
day has to be a good day! When you are on the road and away from home
what are some of the things you miss? Michael Sweet: Of
course I don't like being away from my fam…
